Your expectations are too high, you think you're all apart of the minority of genius's in the world in some way, and think you know better, but you don't.

You're a common peasant stuck in a box earning next to nothing and working for someone who spits on you on a daily basis. You'll never have the brains these people do so stop trying to argue that you're smarter and more knowledgeable than the ones who have devoted their lives to the study of space and science.

Thank you so much for saying that. I'm a PhD candidate and have seen my fare share of wannabe scientists drop away from professional science because of how hard it is. I haven't made it yet myself, though I hope to. The process teaches me humility and that the great masters are so well respected because of the quality of their thought and the accuracy of their predictions. Too many people try to deal with their own ignorance by pretending they understand that which they do not. Your words, angry though they may be, come from a truthful place. The best and brightest of us have to study for about a decade before we can hope to even contribute to the scientific process, and laypeople keep belittling us by dismissing our ideas without even understanding them. It's disrespectful to the years of my life that i have dedicated to unlearning that which I thought I knew, and it's disrespectful to all the scientists who are much better than I.

LOL... Why the hell would they translate light fluctuations into sound that no one can hear?
It's not sound to begin with, why would they translate the data to sound unless to create an interesting AUDIBLE experience??

Next they're going to translate the data into a haiku and never tell anyone about it..

Then they're going to translate the data into microscopic dots on a pin head and never give anyone a magnifying glass..

THEN they're going to attempt the most technically mind boggling conversion to date......
They will convert the data of light fluctuations that cannot be seen with the naked eye.. into actual LIGHT that cannot be seen with the naked eye!
And then they are going to use a satellite to detect these light fluctuations and record it as data so they can convert it INTO A HAIKU! AND NEVER TELL ANYONE ABOUT IT!

Most anticlimactic thing ever. Also Libby, you kind of sucked at reporting this. We are adults wanting to know about science. Not kindergarten students learning the alphabet. Listen to some Radio Lab or get Neil DeGrasse Tyson to report this kind of thing next time.

Wow, after reading these comments I have lost so much confidence in humanity. Where is you sense of imagination. Everyone is so wrapped up in the headline and the reporter that they have no appreciation for the science involved. Sorry it wasn't as entertaining as Access Hollywood or they didn't feed you entertainment like a McDonalds does cheeseburgers. Grown an imagination and shut your lips, or better yet go investigate Kim Kardasians wardrobe and leave the science up to those with a brain.

I used to be suggested this web site by my cousin. I am no longer positive whether or not this put up is written through him as no one else understand such special approximately my trouble. You are incredible! Thanks!

Perhaps, "Reporter Plays D Sharp on a Synthesizer for Ten Seconds" would have been a better title. Great idea, abysmal execution. You might as well add in some little *pew!*pew!* laser-gun sounds for effect.
